Cory Monteith & Matthew Morrison Comment on LGBTQ Teen Suicides
The Glee cast recently hosted a benefit for the Rape Treatment Center at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center, and in light of the recent suicides from LGBTQ youth, Cory Monteith and Matthew Morrison were asked to voice their concerns. See what they had to say in this video from Entertainment Tonight.
“I’m sure that’s something that [Ryan Murphy] wants to talk about,” Matthew Morrison told us on Sunday, answering how “Glee” would respond to the problem of gay bullying in schools across the U.S. Murphy is the show’s executive producer.
The RTC has dedicated itself to advancing the care of rape victims as well as preventing the occurrence of sexual assault, and Cory Monteith told us that he was glad to be a part of the fundraiser: “It’s really important for a show like ‘Glee,’ with all the exposure that it’s getting, to start to bring important causes like this out in the open,” Monteith told us.
“It’s shedding a light on a subject that a lot of people keep in the closet,” said Morrison.
While it appears from the video that Chris Colfer was absent at the event, when asked via Twitter if he would be making an It Gets Better Project video, he responded saying that one was in the works. Later, he tweeted: “Just shot an #ItGetsBetter PSA with @TrevorProject! It’s so important we make it known there is love and understanding out there!” When the video goes online, we’ll be sure to post it.
I was so happy to see that the members of Glee were stepping up to the plate and supporting the unofficial “It Gets Better” campaign!! The Glee show has an enormous GLBTAQ fanbase and it is really a great thing they have done. We need to stop gay-bullying! I live in the Anoka-Hennepin County School district where 5 of the teens committed suicide and it really hits close to home! So glad Chris and the gang could help prevent these tragedies!!
Thank for post!11
I love the fact how Glee knows how make everyone a someone even though they are gay or fat! Like Kurt is awesome and everyone loves him even though he is gay. Keep up the great work Glee. I love it and You are my number 1 show
